BASEHOR, Kan. (AP) - A Leavenworth County man has been convicted in a crash that killed two relatives on the same day the three were supposed to be groomsmen in a wedding.
The Leavenworth Times reports that Leavenworth County jurors Tuesday found 22-year-old William Wilson, of Basehor, guilty Tuesday of one count of involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence of alcohol in the deaths of 29-year-old Jesse Aldrich and 34-year-old Justin Wilson.
Sentencing was set for July 21st.
Authorities say William Wilson was driving a pickup truck that left a road and struck a tree around 5:00 the morning of June 13, 2015. His brother was supposed to get married later that Saturday at a winery in Basehor. But authorities say the wedding was postponed after the crash.
County Attorney Todd Thompson described the case as a "horrible tragedy all the way around."
